Any Car stereo enthusiasts???
I'm looking for some forums for car audio like these to get some questions answered? Anyone out there into car audio? I blew out my 2 12's and am having trouble deciding what kind to buy now...

I'm looking to pay about 350-400 for 2 12's... it's in a 92 mustang gt(hatchback)... i have a 600watt rms amp to push them and am considering getting a bigger amp in the future if need be. I was thinking about cerwin vega(I have floor speakers for the house by them and i like them) or audiobahn. I have infinity kappa components for the interior speakers powered by 55watts rms a channel

This is my favorite. www.termpro.com Then go to the Audio Forum. If you have any audio questions shoot them my way. I have been in to car audio for about the last 10 years for fun, and the last 5 professionally. Mark

i know car audio. 3 MTX thunder 8000 12's
im assuming your amp is 600 watts bridged at 4 ohms. is that peak or RMS (continuous) power? 300-400 isnt much for 2 12's. id rather spend 300 on 1 good one. thats all you really need in a hatchback anyways. dont buy 2 shitty subs when u can get one good one. if you do get 2 subs, they will have to be 8 ohm. unless ur amp is 2 ohm stable which i doubt it is. i need some more info

M&M Godfathers! Those fuckers hit harder than anything I have heard. A buddy of mine had two of them in an '85 GMC Jimmy that could rattle your fucking teeth out of your head. And they were only in a regular sealed enclosure.

I used to be back in the day too. I went to a few sound offs and my bro was even sponsored by alpine. I used to have a pair of these speakers from Hollywood Sound Labs and they kicked ass. The magnets are huge and the cones are extra durable. Heres the link to their site http://www.hollywoodsoundlabs.com/ They have some 12's that are 1200 watts and 3600 peak. These things really thump. Their amps are clean as hell too.

Not Rockford, Zapco, Phoenix Gold, or anything new.

I am currently building a show competition truck, fiberglass, tv, big amps, etc.....I am a part-time installer as well--working saturdays. One site that can really help you out is www.the12volt.com they have great forums and great people, you can get pretty much any question dealing with car audio/security/installaion answered. Hope this helps.

I like JL subs the best. I run two 12's parallel into 4 ohms and push them hard with a Rockford Amp. I've been running them (at pretty high volumes) for 5 years and haven't had a single problem with the speakers or the amps. My philosophy is (for longevity and less wear and tear on the amps) to not run below 4 ohms. Seems like the sound is crisper. You have to have a bigger amp to push them b/c you aren't "cheating" by running with less resistance like you do at 2 ohms, but the amp barley heats up, and that's where you lose alot of component life (and it seems to me) and sound quality. Just my .02.

Before I got interested in bodybuilding/powerlifting, I was into car and home audio. I haven't been keeping up with the latest trend of audio anymore.
Personally, I would go with JBL's or Cerwin Vegas, my 2 faves.

ive been into car stereos for about 15 years now, ive had all kinds of speaker set ups in my cars. right now i have two oz 12" subs and a mamphis belle 1000+ watt amp running them and the rest of my system. i have to tell you nothing else i have ever had comes close, its sick how clean the sound is and how loud my car is. so what im saying is check out oz audio.

I've heard oz is very good but it seems 2 expensive 4 my tastes... I was thinking about getting 2 Resonant Engineering SE 12's... Oh and I just ordered some cdt classic 6.5" components, hopefully they will sound a lot better than the infinity reference ones i have now....

I just finished putting my sterio in, 2 Solobaric L7 Dual voice coils and a 1200.1 amplifier. It is the craziest I have heard. Pricey, but I found to solobarics for $300 on Ebay, brand new. That is cheaper than one retail.

You might be thinking of the US Amps, very rare. The 50 wat was stable to 1/4 ohm, and could push 2 15" JL's with no problem.
